In their words
Ghulam and his team brought Drive247 to life and got it running properly in production — the architecture, the build, and stabilising the whole thing, all handled with real dedication. The best part for me was zero pressure or tension throughout: they took ownership and made sure things were done properly. We are on V2 now, and looking forward to many more milestones together.
About
A US car rental software platform that gives independent operators everything they need to run their own business: a branded booking site, fleet management, insurance, agreements, payments and customer communication in one place. Operators range from budget fleets to luxury rentals. We designed, built and still run it end to end.

The leak
Their business lived on someone else's marketplace and a phone full of notes
Most operators started on Turo. It got them their first customers, but it never felt like their own business. Customers saw Turo's brand, not theirs. Fees were high, support was slow, and they had no website and no customer list they truly owned.
- 01
Behind the scenes, everything ran on a phone. Bookings in messages, details in notes, insurance arranged with a separate company before every rental, agreements signed on another platform, calls and texts on personal apps. Every tool worked alone. None of them talked to each other.
- 02
That works at 3 cars. At 20, the owner becomes the bottleneck: copying the same details into four places, chasing signatures, checking insurance, and hoping nothing gets missed.
- 03
The operators weren't disorganised. They were running a real business on tools that were never built to work together.
What we built
One platform where every operator runs their own brand
- 01
Their own website
A branded booking site on their own address, editable in seconds without a developer.
- 02
Live in 40 seconds
Sign up and take bookings almost instantly.
- 03
Insurance at checkout
Customers buy rental cover while they book.
- 04
Agreements signed online
Part of the booking, not a separate platform.
- 05
Know who's driving
Customers upload ID, and AI checks the document and matches it to a selfie.
- 06
Deposits that don't quietly disappear
Card holds normally expire after 7 days. The platform renews them automatically, so operators are never left uncovered mid-rental.
- 07
Payments handled
Instalments, extensions and refunds inside the platform.
- 08
Calls and messages in one inbox
Every call and text sits with the booking it belongs to.
- 09
Trax, an AI assistant for every operator
Answers questions about the business, suggests customer replies, explains why a price was recommended, and writes a plain-English review of their money.
- 10
Bring Turo bookings across
Operators still on Turo can sync those bookings into one calendar.
Results

9
operators running their business on it for 6+ months
- The platform is now being rebuilt from the inside, one area at a time, without a single live operator having to switch or notice.
What's still human
Operators still set their prices, approve their customers and hand over the keys. AI flags identity mismatches and suggests prices and replies, but the operator makes the call. The platform does the paperwork. The owner runs the business.
Takeaway
If your customers only know you through someone else's platform, you're building their brand, not yours.
These operators didn't need another app. They needed one place to run the whole business, with their own name on the front door.
